Let’s talk

App development · Dundee

Apps people actually keep.

iPhone and Android apps built by the same team that builds the website and the platform behind them, so the app, the site and the data all tell the same story.

Part of our Platform & AI Development in Dundee work.

In your pocket. Not your bin.

Let’s talk about it What’s included

  • Live on iPhone and Android
  • Through App Store review
  • One system behind app and site
  • Looked after after launch

Is this you?

Common problems we fix.

  • You have an app idea and don’t know where to start
  • Your website works, but customers keep asking for an app
  • Your old app was built by someone who’s gone, and it’s falling behind
  • Apple or Google rejected your app and you don’t know why
  • The app and the website show different information
  • You need an app in a regulated industry and can’t afford to get it wrong

Same problems.
Different industries.
We get it.

Our approach

How we do it.

  1. 01 Idea What the app is for, who uses it and why they’d keep it.
  2. 02 Design Screens people understand at a glance, on any phone.
  3. 03 Build The app and the system behind it, together.
  4. 04 Store App Store and Google Play listings, review and launch.
  5. 05 Look after Updates, new phones and new features, long after launch.

It’s not a quick fix.
It’s a proper plan.

What we do

Everything you need.
None of the jargon.

  • App strategy & scoping
  • iPhone apps
  • Android apps
  • App design & prototypes
  • The platform or API behind the app
  • Accounts, sign-in & notifications
  • Payments where needed
  • App Store & Google Play publishing
  • Store listings & screenshots
  • Accessibility
  • Updates & support after launch
  • Analytics you can act on
01

Published under our own name

We have eight apps live on the App Store under our own developer account, from the VisitDundee city guide and MyDundee to Dundee Connect and My Football Picks, and VisitDundee is on Google Play too. That means we know the review process from the inside: what Apple and Google ask for, why apps get rejected and how to get them approved again.

02

One system behind the app and the site

The VisitDundee app runs on the same platform as visitdundee.com, so the 280 articles and 240 live business listings on the website are the ones in your pocket. Change a listing once and it’s right everywhere. That’s the difference between an app that stays useful and one that goes stale the week after launch.

03

Regulated, and still quick

For Lucky Tiger we took a sportsbook app through more than 400 changes and through its platform’s own compliance review, with safer-gambling tools built into the structure rather than bolted on. If your industry has rules, the app is designed around them from the first screen.

04

Kept up to date, not abandoned

A launch is the start. New phones, new versions of iOS and Android and new store rules arrive every year, and an app nobody looks after soon stops working. We keep ours current, and we’ll tell you honestly when a website would do the job better than an app.

Proof, not promises.

Real numbers. We counted.

  • 8apps live on the App Store under our own name
  • 400+changes to the Lucky Tiger app, through its compliance review
  • 240live business listings in the VisitDundee app, the same as the website
  • 2stores: iPhone and Android

Real work

Frequently asked

Straight answers.

Do you build apps for iPhone and Android?

Yes, both. VisitDundee, for example, is on the App Store and Google Play, with the same features on each.

Do I need an app or would a website do?

Often a fast mobile website does the job, and we’ll say so. An app earns its place when people use it again and again, need notifications, or want it on their home screen.

Can you get my app through App Store review?

We publish our own apps through Apple and Google review regularly, and we know the common reasons for rejection. We can’t promise what a reviewer will decide, but we’ll prepare it properly and handle any changes they ask for.

Who owns the app?

You do. It can be published under your own developer account, and the code and content are yours.

Can you take over an app someone else built?

Usually, yes. We start by checking what’s there, what it runs on and what it would take to keep it going, then tell you straight whether to keep it or rebuild it.

How much does an app cost?

It depends on what it needs to do and what has to sit behind it. We scope it first, then set out the work and our fees clearly in a proposal.
